Obama has declared a national emergency due to swine flu: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-10-24-Obama-swine-flu_N.htm
This allows for suspension of federal rules/guidelines governing the operation of hospitals in order to speed care, segregate patients, etc.
The move was pre-emptive.
So my question is: does the evolution of the outbreak so far suggest this is really going to be necessary?
